I just finished my second week of community college and I have honestly no idea how to connect with other college students. I seems like everyone is just in their own world or already has their pre established friend groups and they do not mingle outside of them. It does not help that I am painfully shy and get anxious around new people, I kind of just shut down because I feel so overwhelmed. I don't really have many chances to talk to people outside of class and outside of class everyone is either just studying or trying to get to their next class I really don't see how I can connect with anyone and I feel so awkward approaching random people. I feel like a neusance and that I'm intruding on their space so I just leave them alone. It sucks because I feel so damn lonely all the time and yet I'm surrounded by people but have no idea how to reach out or connect with them on a personal level. I feel like I'm pretty much invisible.
